Weapons.
Using copper, the Weaponsmith fash-
ions weapons. The Recruiter uses weapons to
equip Infantry companies (see page 171).
Chariots.
The Chariot Maker uses wood to manu-
facture magnificent war chariots. He sends the
finished product to the Recruiter to outfit chario-
teers (see page 171).
Ships.
Shipwrights build and repair all ships in your
city (except for ferry boats). They are skilled in all
types of boat making and can build a strong com-
bat vessel just as easily as they can build a small
fishing boat.
Shipwrights make fishing boats from whatever
resources they have on hand and do not need a
delivery of raw materials to fashion them.
Warships and transport ships, on the other hand,
are built from wood. Shipwrights need a supply of
wood before they can begin building military
ships.
Shipwrights need road access and workers. They
also need to be placed on the
coastline. You’ll know when
you’ve chosen a good spot
when you see a green
ghost of the build-
ing.
No water vessels are available for import or export.

Beer.
Brewers take the humble barley plant and
transform it into tasty beer at the Brewery. Like
pottery, beer is one of the products your citizens
want to have in their homes. Beer is also served at
the Senet House (see page 161).
Linen.
Weavers turn flax fibers into linen. Your
citizens use linen for clothing and want a supply of
the material in their homes. Mortuaries (see page
152) also use linen to perform the embalming rit-
ual.
Luxury Goods.
Your richest citizens want fine lux-
ury goods, and they won’t be satisfied with just
one type. The only luxury good you’ll be able to
manufacture, however, is jewelry from gemstones.
Jewelers craft these fine pieces in their workshops.
To meet your wealthy citizens’ demands, your city
will need to import a second luxury good from a
trade partner at significant cost.
While jewelry is expensive to import, it is not a
lucrative export for your city. Much of the
expense in buying a luxury good is the cost of
transportation, not the cost of materials.
Papyrus.
Papyrus Makers hammer reeds into
papyrus. Papyrus is essential to education (see
page 165) in your city. You must have a supply of
papyrus stored in your Storage Yard to build a
Library, and both Libraries and Scribal Schools
need papyrus to educate your wealthiest citizens.
Bricks.
Brick makers combine clay with straw to
make bricks. Bricks are essential to the construc-
tion of certain monuments (see pages 132-134,
